CHAPTER 130: CHAPTER 130: ARE THEY BETTER LOOKING THAN ME?

"What are you looking at?" Jiang Jingming reached out and turned Sang Yu’s face around.

Sang Yu: "I’m watching Ru’an and Lu Yuan."

Jiang Jingming: "Why are you watching them? Are they better looking than me?"

Sang Yu laughed, putting her hands on her hips and tilting her head at Jiang Jingming: "Hey, Jiang Jingming, how did I not notice before that you love being jealous so much?"

Jiang Jingming suddenly leaned close to Sang Yu: "I’ve always liked it."

Sang Yu: "Okay, okay, don’t get so close, there are a lot of people here." She pushed Jiang Jingming away.

"So what if there are people? Who doesn’t know we are married? Can’t a couple show affection?"

Sang Yu was amused: "It’s not that, Jiang Jingming, even married couples shouldn’t be so lovey-dovey in front of so many people. Plus, pay attention to your image, you’re Jiang Jingming after all."

Jiang Jingming looked indifferent: "Image? What’s that? Is it more important than you?"

Sang Yu: "You’re such a smooth talker, I’m not talking to you. Hurry up and check if that’s done grilling, I’m starving."

Jiang Jingming smiled indulgently.

...

Inside the house, Chen Fang was secretly watching Lu Yuan through the window, realizing she might have mistaken.

She initially thought Liu Qinghuan would be her future daughter-in-law, but now it seems it’s not Liu Qinghuan.

Is it Xu Ru’an?

Seeing how attentive Lu Yuan was to Xu Ru’an, it seemed quite likely.

Xu Ru’an could work, she looks good and is kind, Chen Fang likes her too.

"Mom, what are you looking at?" Lu Yao, waking up, found Chen Fang staring at the backyard.

Chen Fang smiled knowingly: "I’m about to have a daughter-in-law."

Lu Yao scratched his head: "A daughter-in-law? Who? Qinghuan?"

Chen Fang: "No, no, not Qinghuan."

"Then who?" Lu Yao was puzzled.

"It’s a girl named Xu Ru’an, do you know her?"

After thinking, Lu Yao said: "You mean Xu Ru’an? I know her; her father is the police chief."

Chen Fang was surprised: "This young lady has quite a background then?"

Lu Yao was nonchalant: "It’s okay."

"Isn’t Lu Yuan a bit unworthy of her?" Chen Fang began to worry, feeling like her hope was slipping away.

Lu Yao asked: "Mom, what do you mean? Is Lu Yuan dating Xu Ru’an?"

Chen Fang: "I don’t know."

Lu Yao: "..."

"But," Chen Fang said confidently, "Lu Yuan definitely likes that girl, come over and see."

Chen Fang pulled Lu Yao to the window, pointing towards Lu Yuan and Xu Ru’an’s direction: "Look, Lu Yuan is taking such good care of that girl. He was never this caring with Qinghuan, and when has he ever been so close to a girl? He must like her."

Lu Yao looked at Lu Yuan and Xu Ru’an in the distance, realizing Lu Yuan indeed had potential to be a sucker.

If he had a tail, it might have wagged into the sky.

After a while, Lu Yao noticed a pair at a diagonal.

Lu Yao raised an eyebrow, a teasing gleam in his eye.

"Where are you going?" Chen Fang asked as Lu Yao was about to leave.

Lu Yao said: "I’m going to say hello to old friends."

Chen Fang did not stop him.

As soon as Lu Yao came out, Jiang Jingming noticed him.

Seeing him walk straight towards himself, Jiang Jingming’s expression remained unchanged.

"Sang Yu, long time no see." Lu Yao greeted Sang Yu, giving Jiang Jingming a glance before turning away.

Sang Yu smiled: "Hello, long time no see. Thank you for taking me to the hospital before."

Lu Yao casually sat down: "No big deal."

"What’s this?" Lu Yao asked knowingly, looking at the grilled barbecue in front of Sang Yu.

Sang Yu handed it over: "Do you want to eat?"

Jiang Jingming’s gaze fell upon the plate of barbecue, and Lu Yao caught Jiang Jingming’s look.

"Of course, thank you." Lu Yao unceremoniously took the barbecue and started eating.

"Hmm, it tastes really good, I didn’t expect Sang Yu to know how to grill."

Lu Yao’s remarks had a touch of mischief.

Sang Yu explained: "I didn’t grill it, Jingming did."

Lu Yao feigned realization: "Oh, it’s Captain Jiang. No, wait, we can’t call him Captain Jiang anymore, he’s been promoted. Have to call him Vice Jiang, but Captain Jiang sounds better, don’t you think? Captain Jiang?"

Jiang Jingming glanced at Lu Yao: "Haven’t been sleeping well, have you?"

Lu Yao stopped and looked at Jiang Jingming.

Jiang Jingming: "Your dark circles are almost as prominent as the pandas in the mountain zoo."

Lu Yao caught the hint of Jiang Jingming’s mockery, knowing why his sleep was bad recently.

Lu Yao clenched his teeth: "Indeed, if it weren’t for someone calling me out of the blue last night saying they wanted to attend the gathering, I could have rested well."

Jiang Jingming’s expression remained unchanged, showing no signs of remorse.

Sang Yu, noticing the atmosphere getting tense, quickly said: "Hey, Brother Lu, try this."

Lu Yao took what Sang Yu handed over: "Thank you."

Sang Yu: "You’re welcome, you’re welcome."

"Brother Lu, you’re up?" Liu Qinghuan came over unexpectedly.

Seeing Liu Qinghuan, Lu Yao’s tone softened: "Qinghuan, are you having fun?"

Liu Qinghuan nodded: "Yes! Brother Lu Yuan’s friends are great, I really like them."

Lu Yao dotingly, as if towards a younger sister, said: "As long as you like. Be safe, don’t hurt yourself."

Liu Qinghuan nodded: "Got it, Brother Lu."

"Brother Lu, would you like to join us for grilling?" Liu Qinghuan invited.

Lu Yao shook his head: "No need, you guys go ahead, here..." Lu Yao glanced at Jiang Jingming, chuckling: "Here, I have friends."

Liu Qinghuan glanced at the grilling Jiang Jingming, saying: "Okay, then I’ll go."

"Yeah, okay."

Lu Yao nodded.

Liu Qinghuan smiled at Sang Yu, then ran back to the crowd.

Jiang Jingming handed over freshly grilled meat to Sang Yu, but Lu Yao swiftly snatched it: "Hey, thanks."

Jiang Jingming glared at Lu Yao, but Lu Yao pretended not to see, devouring the grilled meat.

Sang Yu shook Jiang Jingming’s hand and shook her head.

Only then did Jiang Jingming withdraw his gaze, continuing to grill meat for Sang Yu.

Lu Yao noticed this from the corner of his eye, and so what, who tells him to call at night disturbing sleep.

Eating a few skewers of grilled meat was pretty generous of him.

Furthermore, the old school incidents haven’t been settled with him yet.

This time, Jiang Jingming learned, removing the meat from the skewers before handing it to Sang Yu, feeding her with his hands directly.

Lu Yao watched the scene, laughing: "I say, Jiang Jingming, is this necessary?"
